TigerTurf Opens US Plant

Synthetic turf manufacturer TigerTurf has opened a new state-of-the-art factory in the United States to cater for the growing demand for its products.

TigerTurf has become the market leader in the UK since opening a factory in Worcestershire in 2001 and the company supplies sports and landscape products throughout Europe, the Middle East and Africa. Where appropriate, its sports surfaces are accredited by world governing sports bodies such as FIFA, FIH, ITF and World Bowls. Products include different turfs for soccer, rugby, hockey, tennis, cricket, bowls and golf, as well as market leading dual sport champion, TigerTurf Challenger.

The company has pioneered realistic looking synthetic grass for aesthetic and environmental landscaping uses, as well as developing complete systems for the childcare and safety play markets. The new factory, situated in Austin, Texas, will allow TigerTurf to capitalize on increasing demand for sports turf in the US.

TigerTurf UK Managing Director Bryn Lee said: “The demand for synthetic turf has never been higher. TigerTurf now ranks as one of the top companies in the world in our industry, reflecting our strong commitment to research and innovation which enables the development of products that set us apart from our competitors.

“Becoming a FIFA Licensee last year showed we had arrived, but to be the first company in the industry to have three manufacturing facilities strategically located around the world is a real sign of TigerTurf’s ambitions.”
